“Our kitties love Olivia and so do we! Always going the extra mile to make sure they are loved when we are gone! We are thankful for her updates and that she spends one on one time with them. She’s a 10!”


About: I have always loved animals! I worked for three years in a veterinary clinic, so I am very knowledgeable about, and comfortable around, dogs and many other types of animals you may have in your home. I am comfortable around all sizes and breeds of dogs, and I am up for whatever makes your dog happy! Growing up with dogs, and now having three of my own, I know what it takes to care for your pet in any stage of life. We can go on walks together, play fetch in the yard, or just hang out on the porch or on the couch. I am very laid back and super flexible. I am also a very clean house guest. I cannot wait to get to know you and your dog! I do work full time, but my hours are pretty flexible. I can let your pup out in the morning, around lunch, or in the afternoon/evening!! I will abide by any house rules you have for your pup. If not in a fenced area, I will make sure s/he is on a leash and kept safe. Please provide me with any information I may need about your pet!!

“Mikayla was so great with our cats, even when they got into trouble and made a mess. She sent us great photos and I'm confident that our cats were well cared for while we were gone!”


About: Woof! 🐶 My name is Anna. I have several years of professional experience working with dogs, and I’m confident with dogs of all sizes—including large breeds like Bernese Mountain Dogs, Great Danes, and Rottweilers. I’m CPR-certified and experienced in administering medications, so your pet’s health and safety are always a priority. I offer reliable drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting. Over the years, I’ve built strong, trusting relationships with pet parents who know I treat every dog like my own. Whether your pup needs a calm walk, playful attention, or extra TLC, I’m here to make sure all pets feel safe, understood and loved. At your request, I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and reassured while you’re away. If you’re looking for a responsible, experienced, and genuinely passionate caregiver. ♥️ I’d love to meet you and your pup! I’m currently between jobs, which gives me a flexible and open schedule for drop-ins, walks, and house sitting. I’m available most days and times, including weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m also quick to respond and happy to work around your pet’s routine to provide the best care possible! If you have a fenced yard that’s great! Other wise I can take them on a leash when going potty. I also have a fenced backyard and a friendly, 6 year old labradoodle.

“Breanna took great care of our pups again. This time we had drop in visits over 3 days, and the dogs did great with us gone as usual. So grateful to have a way for them to stay calm and happy at home, and be well cared for! Thank you Breanna!”


About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals for years ranging from puppies to senior dogs recovering from surgery and epileptic cats. I love cats and dogs but cannot host cats in my home sadly. I have two friendly yellow labs at home they are more than spoiled with long walks and anything they might need. As they can’t take care of themselves, they are always the first priority. I have a fenced yard and am very close to area parks. I also have two pups that are dog friendly, even when having to share the couch.

About: My household of 6 are all animal lovers. Booking with me would get you 10 extra hands to love and play with your pet when you are away! I am available most weekends and can be for extended periods during the week if booked in advance. I have 3 cats currently in the home as well as 4 children. I have a fenced and large unfenced yard for your pet to play in. Your pet can either play together with my 3 cats or be kept separate, whichever works best for you and your pet. I love to snuggle and give belly rubs to all pets. I am flexible with potty and playtime schedules.

About: I've had pets all my life! I've also been involved in animal rescue and pet sitting for many years. From simple potty breaks to giving medication, I have experience with just about anything. I have a soft spot for senior pets, but I'm not picky! I even pet sat a pig once! Trusting your pets care to a stranger can be worrisome, I know from experience. My goal is to provide the care I'd want for my own animals. ❤️ My schedule is super flexible. I can make most days and times work. Advance notice is preferred, but I can usually help if something comes up on short notice! My goal has always been to keep my client's pets' routines as normal as possible. As a pet sitter and a Rover client, I'm able to see both sides. Being in rescue exposed me to animals with many different needs and personalities, giving me invaluable experience. I treat your pet and home like it's my own.

About: What more fun way than to spend time with loving animals and meet their personalities. 11 years and counting. Dream work makes the dogs happy! I currently work days as a CNA, after work I am able to spend time with your pup! And give it the best attention required Anything you ask for and require I am your gal! Very efficient in my work and what I do! Dogs have feelings too. No doubt!

“We have been taking our large doodle to Amber since we moved to South Dakota from out of town. Our pup always comes home exhausted, a certain sign at a good time! We love Amber and her family, they treat our dog like he’s theirs. Thank you so much Amber! See you next time!”


“Ellen was great! She took great care of my pups and home while I was away. She kept communication open and was flexible through multiple schedule changes on my end. Looking forward to rebooking!”


About: I grew up with black labs my entire life and have cared for many furry friends since! Most experienced with large breeds but I love dogs all shapes and sizes. I follow the public school schedule. Home after 4pm on week nights and extra time to love on animals on weekends, holiday breaks and summers. I live close to work so easy access if a pup needs a midday break. One person household with partially fenced yard. Dogs are more than welcomed for snuggles on furniture. Close access to trails in the Black Hills for walks or hikes!

“The process was so easy and I am incredibly grateful Carly was able to accommodate when I was headed out of town on short notice. She took wonderful care of my cat and dog sending pictures and updates during her home visits. Thank you Carly!”


“Anna went above and beyond to take care of Emma, doing whatever she could to ensure her joy and safety. When Emma caused some damage, Anna took Emma and even gave me a ride home to ensure Emma’s safety. Cannot recommend Anna enough! She’s walked Emma numerous separate times and I trust her more than I’ve trusted any other sitters or dog walkers!”


About: Grew up with indoor and outdoor dogs, and have years of experience caring for friends’ and family’s cats and dogs with love, attention, and responsibility. Pet care fits easily into my flexible daily schedule. As this is a part-time job, I’m available and willing to adjust to meet any needs. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment, follow routines closely, ensure pets are fed, exercised, and comfortable—whether it is in my home or yours.

About: Hi there! 👋 My name’s Brady, and I’m a reliable, tidy, and animal-loving house sitter. I don’t have any pets of my own right now, which is exactly why I love house sitting—it's a great way to spend time with animals and give them all the attention they deserve. I’ve recently house sat for friends and absolutely loved it. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’m happy to step in and make sure your pets feel loved and comfortable while you're away. Most of my work is remote, so I’m home a lot and can give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, which makes it easy for me to work around your pet's routines—feeding, walks, meds, etc. When I’m staying in someone’s home, I treat it with the same respect I’d want someone to treat mine. I keep things tidy, follow your instructions, and make sure your pets feel safe and at ease. I send regular updates and pet selfies (please tell me if I'm annoying) so you’re never left wondering how things are going.


About: I've house sat several family friends because they know how much I love doing it. I'm 4 hours from my hometown, yet families will still ask if I'd like to come home for the weekend to take care of their dogs! Yes, the extra income is nice, but it's less of a chore and more of an enjoyment for me. I try to volunteer at shelters throughout the year, walking dogs and such, and my schedule definitely opens up in the summer. I'm a teacher, and I'd love to spend my summer helping your family out and keeping your pets happy!
